Install one =)  There are a few in the ports collection to choose
from.. qpopper, cucipop, uw-imapd/pop3d.. take your pick.

cd /usr/ports/mail/popper
make install

Then make sure you add or uncomment the appropriate line in
/etc/inetd.conf..

pop3	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/local/libexec/popper  popper

After doing that you'll need to restart inetd..

ps auxw |grep inetd
kill -1 <inetd's pid>

Hope this helps,
